2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK

sometimes stats will have that effect on a man

mark twain once said "theres lies, damn lies, and those FUCKED up fake boris stats spottie used that one time on the i love hoops message board of 2017."

hahah

lmao

hehe

kyle anderson is stylistically similar to boris--crafty sloths. he lacks some of boris' art but it's about style not quality. it's funny that the spurs seemed to scout him as that & now sorta interesting since he's actually pretty good.

I enjoy slo mo, I genuinely laugh whenever I see a defender eff up because they thought he'd be two steps ahead of where he actually is

Fiz got canned

Weirdest thing about those best 100min lineups is there is not one Celtics lineup on it? Or did I miss it

Wow fiz

wtf?

are memphis just gonna employ gasol and conley til they retire, seems like they need to figure some stuff out instead of firing their coach

love + nets pick for gasol

three team deal someone prob wants love maybe give up a pick or young dude + filler for him

Seems very knee jerky. His drama w gasol must be deep. The suns should hire him quick

conleys contract is massive but someone prob wants him what with ball handling being so in demand guard heavy lineups and whatnot

conley wld actually be a great spur wonder if they cld put something together

yeah doesnt really make sense prob drama related

reading that gasol is v. close with pera meaning a) he had a hand in this b) he isn't going anywhere while pera owns the team (which might not be that long iirc)

my boyfriend kyle had a double-double tonight, 12-10-5-2

Really nice line from LMA too

yeah he brought it tonight.

how is devin harris still on the mavs

Cuban let him go in his prime and must have vowed to keep him until he was 40 if he came back

that roster is really sad minus d smith jr. the nerlens thing is weird

Trill having himself a game

uh oh

Aw cuet

:D

NBA ratings being way up undercuts the whole bullshit narrative that NFL ratings are down because of player protests

Yah there was articles on declining nfl ratings like 4-5 years back

i quit watching the nfl around that time, all the extra-curricular violence against women and kids and the early days of the CTE stuff just made me feel gross watching the game, nba culture is so much better

Due to the fact that I've spent almost every Sunday afternoon for two decades visiting my daughter for five or six hours, NFL football faded out of my life pretty thoroughly a long time ago. Now, when I happen onto a game and watch some it, it seems boring. Great athletes, but hardly any creativity or excitement. I turn it off after ten or fifteen minutes.

the fact that pacman is still around... my god

well no one in the nba has taken a knee and im sure the league wld like to keep it that way, i do think the protests are affecting ppls feelings towards the nfl but its def part of a larger malaise that prob includes domestic violence low level scandals like deflategate head injuries revulsion with conservative culture general bad vibes and the games havent been as good

also the nfl is so popular its just hard to maintain that peak level

the NFL product is really terrible now too and no one seems to care about the newest crop of star players that much. And there are so many iconic franchises that have been awful or boring for years. I grew up a bears fan and I don't remember the last time they were fun in a good way and not in a popcorn.gif way.

something tells me that there's less conservative/racist/USA!USA! dipshits among NBA fans than NFL...

Compare that with how well the NBA markets their players and the interpersonal drama, it's a magnificent glorious beautiful game with pro wrestling narrative in the best sense of the term. And with all that it's forward thinking good vibes all around. I want some of the coaches to be president whereas I think the NFL coaches should maybe be in prison.

even when the Bears were good this century it wasn't in a fun way!
